Given the scope of the Club Development Plan an audit of training needs will be established and actioned. Where appropriate the Club will establish supervisory and/or mentoring roles.
 

Players, coaches, officials and parents are encouraged to undertake a variety of qualifications and acquire skills which can be utilised by the Club. Financial support has been made available for these purposes in the past. This has resulted in volunteers gaining coaching, first aid, sports psychology, child protection and administration qualifications over the past couple of years. A register of skills and qualifications has been established. All requests for financial support are discussed by the club’s committee. The committee regularly looks at additional development programmes in a number of areas.

The Club intends to utilise the information and products produced by the Football Workforce to sustain focus and ongoing enthusiasm. Club officials, coaches and volunteers will be encouraged to attend workshops. Parents will be invited to participate in the Soccer Parent programme either  by attending a Club organised session utilising the appropriate resource packs, or covering the information via E-Learning.

To ensure that youth involvement occurs the Club will support the development of young volunteers (14-18) and their participation on The Junior Football Organisers Course.
